The book, “Light Enters the Grove,” features an anthology of 81 renowned writers from Northeastern Ohio, including Poet Laureate Kari Gunter-Seymour and Deborah Fleming, author of “Resurrection of the Wild,” winner of the 2020 PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay.
Historian Brian VanDeMark vividly remembers hearing stories about the May 4, 1970, shootings as a youngster growing up in Houston. He was almost 10 years old then, but the tragedy made an indelible mark on his consciousness, contributing to his writing of his new book, “Kent State: An American Tragedy.”
Kent State University’s May 4 Visitors Center and History Department will present An American Tragedy: Kent State on the Page, a panel discussion framing a new examination of the May 4, 1970 shootings. The event will take place during Kent State’s Homecoming weekend, Friday, Sept. 27, from 10 a.m. to noon in 137 Bowman Hall at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio. This event is free and open to the public; no tickets are required.
